CRBA for my 7months baby

[AlexKissley 3]

So I was staying here in the Philippines since April 2018 because i found out I got pregnant with my baby. I stayed here because my husband who is Im still applying for his petition. (We just submitted I-860) is living here. Im a naturalized us citizen btw. I got naturalized feb 2016. And has been living in US since 2008. Would there be any problem if Im going to apply for crba for my baby? Please give me any insight. Im not sure how this goes. And how long will it take. Thank you in advance.

It is fairly easy.  You fill out the application and bring proof of 5 years of physical presence in the US - this can be in the form of lease agreements, W2’s showing you were working there, school records/transcripts showing you were attending school, passport stamps or entry/exit records showing you were present in the US.

You can apply for CRBA, passport, and SS in the same appointment.

For a passport it is best that both parents attend, USC’s or not.  The baby also has to come in.

Since I wasnt in US for almost whole 2018 i havent filed tax too. I filed an extension. Im not even sure if i have to file for tax since i dont have anything to file. I can only show my passport stamps that i came here in Philippines april 2018.

There is no relationship between taxes and citizenship.

 

There is only a rule that the USC parent show physical presence in the US in order to convey citizenship

These are the rules.  You have to demonstrate that you physically lived in the US for (5) years.  I provided some suggestions for proof in my first post.
